This broker seem to have some serious liquidity problems. I have been using them for about 6 years now.Very helpful customer service. However, this will not be my primary account due to the slow trade execution and the lack of trade instruments

Too many long delays and requotes
Reviewed on 2020-09-10T20:19:00
Edited for second time as Spreadco have again executed a trade 100 index points away from the market price,
-------
I cannot recommend spreadco.com for spread betting in UK.When orders are apparently being processed automatically they are usually fast and at the price displayed so that if you trade well all is good, but when as is now common on my account, it seems dealers intervene and execution is delayed. You must wait far too long to see if the order is executed.
Sometimes after a long delay the order is executed at the price when placed, but the market has moved in the meantime, most often this happens when the market has moved against you, so that if you had been requoted at the current price you could have rejected it and placed an order at a better price. Sometimes this happens even though a position at the price when placed could have been closed in profit while you are waiting, unable to take advantage. You might assume that the dealers are arbitraging these differences to profit for themselves or spreadco.
Other times after a delay you are requoted the same price as when you placed the order - why was it not just executed? Of course the market may have moved up and down while you were waiting.
Other times you are requoted a worse price. Every time this happens on an opening order spreadco are effectively showing you a profit you could have had if execution was swift but is now not available. Every time this happens on a closing order your profit is reduced if the requoted price is still giving some profit and you do not accept it the market may not give you the better price again - your chance to profit from a good bet has gone.
Worst of all sometimes you are requoted a worse price, well away from the price when you tried to place the order and which has not been offered by the market at anytime while you have been waiting.
Either the spreadco systems are incapable of matching customers orders and placing hedging orders for the net position in the real markets and so do not provide a viable trading platform for some styles of trading or you are being gamed by the dealers, either acting as individuals or for the company and there is a conflict of interest and a failure of best execution obligation.
Spreadco do provide figures for the proportion of orders that are requoted, (as required by regulators), but this does not tell the full story on delays nor show if some individual accounts suffer more than others.
------- edit after reply ----
The second paragraph in the reply below is not, in my experience, true. The requotes I have received are often not at the market price (at least as displayed on spreadco platform). The time mentioned the requote price was 100 points from where order placed, and spreadco conceded 96 points from market price. If it can happen once then how can they reassure customers it is not possible any time?
The requotes are still too frequent and delays are still far too great making it difficult to trade with confidence. As I wrote, sometimes it seems the orders are executed automatically, fast and on price. It used to be most commonly like that, but not recently. Still cannot recommend - just trying to be helpful to others.

My name is praveen having ac with Spread but today i have shocked when i came to know my Brent Augcontact which is sold @ 61.84 by me and this same contract purchased by someone @ 74.11 and in my ac huge loss occurred due to this fraudulent transaction. Full night i did not sleep than i contacted my broker and he shorted out the issue and money reversed back to my account. I realise this transaction why because i am keep watching my trading ac but the person who invested for long term view or who is not checking his ac for daily basis so its a big scam which is done by spread side.
First question brent crude today high 61.04 and day low is 60.03 than how my contact has bought @74.11 which occur huge losses for me.
Second due to this it is mental harassment for me and i could not sleep full night.
Third why customer has to call to rectify this transaction, what preventive action is taking by spread for this type of transaction.
Forth what is guarantee it will not repeat in future.
Who is responsible for such kind of mental harassment or so called bad price?????

Stay well clear of Spreadco - simple!
Reviewed on 2017-11-02T23:08:33
Opened an account with Spreadco after leaving another broker, what a big mistake that was!Placed one winning trade on UK Oil and then could not trade it after that as the chart stopped working. I rang daily to see what the issue was and my account manager simply stated the tech department were dealing with it, despite a full week no response. Makes me wonder after reading reviews on here whether they have restricted my account on purpose.
Also the charting software they use is trading view with less functions, however the big issue is you can't save any charts you are viewing, this means indicators and other data has to be added each time you open a chart, try to do this on a few markets - total waste of time!
Finally if you open trading view directly and then watch the same market through Spreadco you will see there is MASSIVE difference in price, hence Spreadco is actually NOT competitive at all.
All i will say is that I'm going back to my old broker with a bigger spread cost, however there customer service, support and backup are impeccable. A heavy lesson learnt don't look at the cheaper options, there will always be a catch. My advice stay well away from Spreadco.

The Best thing about spreadco is their customer service and their Android app. Customer Service of spreadco is top notch.I don't think I can find any broker with better customer support.
So big thanks to SpreaCo and their team.

Moving my trading away from Spreadco
Reviewed on 2017-09-16T19:53:10
I am moving my trading to one of the larger spreadbetting companies.
In my view the website pricingdoes not always reflect actual market prices and the account management team are unhelpful with regard to this.
